jimmack (1221), Nutley, New Jersey, USA Oct 22, 2005 12oz. bottle. Hazy orange/amber color with a small white head. Sweet, spicy aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
Bitter hop flavor surprised me on first sip as I didn’t detect any hops in the aroma. This was followed by the aforementioned sweet baking spices. Not bad, but I’m really not high on pumpkin beers. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Oct 21, 2005 Pours orangey gold with a white head. Smells of vanilla, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace. Tastes sweet with some nice cinnamon notes. Slightly bitter but thick mouthfeel. jb (1024), Rochester, New York, USA Oct 21, 2005 Cinnamon and pumpkin in the aroma , brown sugar and malt in the palag\te. Dry hop finish. Pumpkin taste really increased as it warmed. I really enjoyed this one. xproudfoot (729), Paleolithic, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 16, 2005 Updated: Nov 30, 2005not a bad beer, but has an unnatural soapy floral taste. This is mostly apparent on the finish. weakly bittersweet. tastes like it’s brewed with quality ingredients, but didn’t come out quite right. Perhaps if pumpkins were a flower, this would be a decent pumpkin ale.
